Giant-exchange-driven Vectorial Control of a Minimal Topological Magnet in Eu3In2As4
arXiv:2608.06737 · doi:10.1002/adma.74504
Abstract
The interplay between magnetism and band topology provides a route to controlling quantum states of matter, yet its realization in materials is often constrained by weak exchange coupling and complex electronic structures. Here, a giant exchange coupling is identified in the newly predicted topological magnet Eu3In2As4, giving rise to magnetization-dependent band shifts of up to 300 meV. Together with its intrinsically soft magnetic response, this strong cou-pling enables systematic tuning of topological phases by both the magnitude and orientation of applied magnetic fields. The magneto-topological phase diagram is mapped out in which an antiferromagnetic topological insulator ground state evolves, under modest fields, into a pro-posed intermediate 2/3-ferrimagnetic phase, and further into fully polarized ferromagnetic states predicted to host either Weyl or nodal-ring semimetals. Notably, the Weyl phase corresponds to a minimal model hosting a single pair of Weyl nodes. Quantum oscillations, anomalous Hall transport and magneto-infrared spectroscopy consistently reveal exchange-driven band recon-struction across these transitions. Rotation of the magnetization theoretically provides an effi-cient means to tune the momentum-space positions and separations of the Weyl nodes. These results establish Eu3In2As4 as a model system for exploring how strong exchange coupling can be used to control topological band structures with minimal complexity.
